Arab Motorbike Riders in Town

I was interested to read today's News report of the Kuwaiti street racers rounded up, because I hadn't realised they were such a problem in town.

Two days ago I saw two Arab kids on a motorbike near the traffic lights at Bali Hai flyover. They looked 15 but must have been in their late teens. They weren't wearing crash helmets.

They looked cocky and grinned when a policeman on a smaller scooter came into view. Then, as I waited at the lights, they waited until the cop saw them. When he did, they revved up and raced off, laughing, driving too fast and too dangerously through the waiting traffic to presumably get chased by him.

Then they turned the corner onto Third road....and ran straight into a police roadblock where they were forcefully stopped.

How I laughed. <deleted>.
